The Tool Roll Every Classic Motorcycle Owner Should Carry

The Tool Roll Every Classic Motorcycle Owner Should Carry

Classic motorcycles were built in an era when owners were expected to carry out basic roadside repairs themselves. A loose battery terminal, fouled spark plug or slack control cable could often be fixed with a few simple tools.

Many original motorcycles even came with a factory tool kit tucked away under the seat or in a side panel. While they weren't perfect, they could get you home when something unexpected happened.

A sensible modern tool roll doesn't need to be heavy. A few spanners, screwdrivers, spark plug spanner, pliers, spare fuse, cable ties and electrical tape can solve a surprising number of problems.

The best tool kit is the one you actually carry.

What's the one tool you never leave home without when riding a classic motorcycle?
